[between 1840 and 1880?] |
| Description |
The "beauty of Ireland" wears a shawl and a ribbon in her hair, and her dress reveals her chest. She has pointed facial features
and smiles. "Mavourneen" is an Irish term for "my darling," and the verse mocks Irish accents.

Text: Och, you're a beauty, mavourneen, my darlin'! / That swate Irish brogue, too, as thick as my ar-r-m; / Faith, when I
see yez, I cannot help calling, / "St. Patrick presarve me, and kape me from har-r-m!"
